# O.C.G.A. § 15-21-58. Effect of article upon Acts pertaining to courts in particular counties or cities.

Nothing in this article shall affect the validity of any special or local Act or Act affecting only a specific county dealing with the fines and bond forfeitures in any court or courts in any particular county or city in this state.

## History

Ga. L. 1949, p. 1168, § 9; Ga. L. 2015, p. 693, § 3-32/HB 233.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 2015, p. 693, § 4-1/HB 233, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: ‘‘This Act shall become effective on July 1, 2015, and shall apply to seizures of property for forfeiture that occur on or after that date. Any such seizure that occurs before July 1, 2015, shall be governed by the statute in effect at the time of such seizure.’’

## Other Notes

The 2015 amendment, effective July 1, 2015, substituted ‘‘fines and bond forfeitures’’ for ‘‘fines and forfeitures’’ in the middle of this Code section. See editor’s note for applicability.
